Im tryin to stay focused, and sharp
am tryin, to be calm and soothing, and relaxing as a soft harp

I dont want to be loud, as a reville trumpet anymore
not like i was when i was in the  MARINE-CORPs

But am softer and more gentler
and alot more quieter for sure

Before as.  A battery gunny, i had to be --LOUD
My voice had to be commanding, understanding, as i was giving orders , to the battery, and by direction of the commanding officer DEMANDING, and had a group of eighty marines in the platoon --formation--CROWDS

But, now im quieter, gentler, and calm, and soothing as a relaxing harp, instrument
i dont have to be as loud as a trumpet, speaking, commanding, so the mission on hand can be understanding, as by direction, of the CO--the message that he sent

Im trying to stay focused and-- sharp
not as fast and loud and hard as a trumpet, but more calm, cool, collective and relaxing, - and --soothing-- as --a --HARP

I went to MCRD san diego, boot camp for MARINES, i first arrived there--on -the -19th -of -august -1975, -and met the drill instructors, very loud, hard, agressive, and mean
the base still is  so--immaculate, -and -spotless -and-- CLEAN--as new recruits are learning how to earn the eagle globe and anchor, and bare the title UNITED--STATES--MARINE

Once a MARINE, always a MARINE
in every clime and place,  first to fight for right and freedom, we fight our countries battles in the air, on land and sea, and we keep our HONOR--CLEAN
